Etude analytique des décors céramiques du site de la Gare Maritime, Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe Auteur(s) : Honoré, Sabrina Berard, Benoit Auteurs secondaires : Bureau d'Etude EVEHA (EVEHA) ; EVEHA Université des Antilles et de la Guyane (UAG) Benoît Bérard et Catherine Losier Benoit Bérard Éditeur(s) : HAL CCSD Sidestone Press Résumé : International audience In 2006, an INRAP team led by T. Romon proceeded to search the Amerindian dump of the Gare Maritime in Basse-Terre. An important collection of ceramics there was discovered and then examined by Mr. Hildebrand. The results made possible to assign the occupation to subseries of old huecan and Cedrosan Saladoid.As part of a master’s degree research in archaeology, a study of sets of this pottery was considered a new approach. The latter, inspired by an analysis ofJ. Van Berg on the Rubanné ceramics, can be called structural. Indeed, the search for elementary motifs in this type of decoration, said abstract, can reconstruct it by studying how the motifs fit together. We can compare the motifs to a panel of vocabulary, which combine according to rules of "grammar" defined.This method thus relies on a precise statistical analysis that highlights thecombinatorial rules by inserting an additional factor: that of the various decorating techniques (etching, engraving, painting, modeling).These rules can be translated simply by notions of "presence / absence" or by incorporating a notion of frequency depending on the level of complexity of the decoration. This is the number of motifs creating the set. We call this the set of one or two motifs for simple associations or of four or five motifs for complex sets.The objective of this study is to express an early hypothesis, which would tend to reveal the existence or not of a specific hierarchy of elementary motifs depending on various factors such as complexity of the set or the technique used in both huecan and Cedrosan subseries. En 2006, un equipo del INRAP dirigido por T. Romon procedió a la excavación del vertedero amerindio de la Estación Marítima en Bsse-terre. Una importante colección de cerámica fue puesta allí al día y a continuación estudiada por el Sr. Hildebrand. Los resultados obtenidos permitieron de asignar esta ocupación a las subseries del Saladoïde huecan y cedrosan antiguos.En el marco de un curso de posgrado en arqueologia, se previo un estudio de los decorados de este conjunto de cerámica según un nuevo enfoque. Esta última, inspirada en un análisis realizado por J. Van Berg, en la cerámica Rubannée,se puede llamar estructural. En efecto, la búsqueda de los motivos elementales en este tipo de decorado, dicho abstracto, permiten reconstruirlo estudiando la forma en que los motivos se arreglan. Podemos comparar los motivos a un cuadro de vocabulario que se combina según normas “gramaticales” definidas.Este método se basa, pues en un análisis de estadística precisa que pone de relieve las reglas combinatorias mediante la inserción de un factor adicional: la delas diferentes técnicas de decoración (aguafuerte, grabado, pintura, modelado).Estas normas pueden traducirse simplemente en conceptos de “presencia/ausencia” o incorporando un concepto de frecuencia según el nivel de complejidad del decorado. Este último corresponde entre motivos que crean el decorado. Hablamos entonces de decorado a unos o dos motivos para las asociaciones simples o a cuatro o cinco motivos para los decorados complejos.El objetivo de este estudio es de emitir un principio de hipótesis que tendería a revelar la existencia, o no, de una jerarquía específica de los motivos elementales en función de los distintos factores, como la complejidad del decorado o la técnica utilizada, en las dos subseries huecan y cedrosan En 2006, une équipe de l'INRAP dirigée par T. Romon procéda à la fouille du dépotoir amérindien de la Gare Maritime à Basse-Terre. Une importante collection de céramique y fut mise au jour et ensuite étudiée par M. Hildebrand. Les résultats obtenus permirent d'attribuer cette occupation aux sous-séries du Saladoïde huecan et cedrosan ancien. Dans le cadre d'un master en archéologie, une étude des décors de cet ensemble céramique fut envisagée selon une nouvelle approche. Cette dernière, inspirée d'une analyse effectuée par J. Van Berg sur la céramique du Rubané, peut être qualifiée de structurale. En effet, la recherche des motifs élémentaires dans ce type de décor, dit abstrait, permet de le reconstruire en étudiant la façon dont les motifs s'agencent. Nous pouvons comparer les motifs à un panel de vocabulaire qui se combine selon des règles « grammaticales » définies.Cette méthode s'appuie ainsi sur une analyse statistique précise qui met en exergue les règles combinatoires en insérant un facteur supplémentaire : celui des différentes techniques de décoration (gravure, incision, peinture, modelage). Ces règles peuvent se traduire simplement par des notions de « présence / absence » ou bien en incorporant une notion de fréquence selon le niveau de complexité du décor. Ce dernier correspond au nombre de motifs créant le décor. Nous parlons alors de décor à un ou deux motifs pour les associations simples ou bien à quatre ou cinq motifs pour les décors complexes. L'objectif de cette étude est d'émettre un début d’hypothèse qui tendrait à révéler l'existence, ou non, d'une hiérarchie spécifique des motifs élémentaires en fonction des différents facteurs, comme la complexité du décor ou la technique utilisée, chez les deux sous-séries huecanes et cedrosanes.

Boats fill the Hillsbourough River in front of the Plant Park and the Tampa Bay Hotel. Auteur(s) : Burgert Brothers, 1917- ( Photographer ) Résumé : When Henry B. Plant brought the railroad to Tampa in 1884, he opened the door for many businesses to locate and flourish here. The railroad was at the center of the city's economy. From downtown it went to Port Tampa where one could board a Plant steamship to Jamaica, Cuba, New Orleans, Bermuda or other destinations. A spur of the rail line brought the train up to the west front of the hotel so guests could depart the train and walk directly into the lobby.
The Tampa Bay Hotel cost approximately 2.5 million dollars to build and $500,000 to furnish. Consisting of 511 rooms, some of which were suites of 3-7 rooms, it provided a degree of luxury never before seen in Tampa. Most of the rooms had their own baths and all had electricity and telephones. In addition, guests were surrounded by a varied collection of furniture, porcelains, Venetian-style mirrors, and sculptures gathered by Mr. and Mrs. Plant in their travels in Europe.
The Tampa Bay Hotel opened in 1891 amid wide fanfare and celebration. Henry Plant's dream was now a reality. The newspapers of the day described it as "brightly illuminated, filled with sumptuous decorations, thrilling music and graced with turrets, domes and minarets towering heavenward and
glistening in the sun." It was a Victorian palace.
The hotel was a lively place with balls, tea parties, and organized hunts during the winter social season. It was open seasonally from December to April in the 1890's. Once a guest arrived at the hotel, he needed to be entertained. Guests went wild game hunting as well as fresh and salt-water fishing. Water sports were also included like sailing, rowing, and canoeing. For the less adventuresome, there were bicycles, carriages, and rickshaws to ride you around the property. The hotel also offered golf, tennis, shuffleboard, billiards, and even a racetrack. (Funding) Funded in part by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS), Ephemeral Cities Project.
